Dr Brad Stanfield has done quite a few videos over the last few months on NMN and they have been quite informative. Lots of fantastic info on current research, etc. Great channel and I really like that he use Cochrane Reports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f46mHDvdHcE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f46mHDvdHcE

As someone that's already drank the NMN koolaid, I'm quite turned off by this channel. The number of times things are described as "epic" reminds me of an infomercial. Maybe his recommendations are still good but I wish there was more nuance. Results also seem to be given the most optimistic possible interpretation.

  As someone that's already drunk the NMN koolaid, would you share your experience with two sentences? For example, have you noticed any results and if yes, how long after starting taking NMN?

    The three big changes for me are feeling like I have more energy, sleeping better, and knowing I have ~$100 less in my bank account each month. Honestly, it might just be placebo, but I'm going to keep doing it. My goal isn't to improve my current health but to maintain it (I'm about to enter my 40s, so maintaining my health has been on my mind a lot). Part of me worries it's not doing anything - maybe it only helps people later in life with an NAD deficiency. Part of me worries I've been scammed - picking an NMN supplier is difficult because it's costly and there are no suppliers I'd consider a brand name. Part of me worries I'm lacking some other key ingredient - resveratrol is often mentioned, but I had an allergic reaction to it and stopped; you can see Dr Stanfield's list of supplements in his doc, and it's hard to know which ones matter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f4qoRL1sxVXiiOBaMJeJqxQrlcJVJIAFw2JiWTGMcpw/edit#heading=h.44dndft57bqr https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f4qoRL1sxVXiiOBaMJeJqxQr... So, I'm not convinced it's doing anything. The chance it might do something later down the line is, for me, worth the price. I buy into Dr. Sinclair's research which is why I choose NMN over other alternatives.

      In the same boat, (unlikely) worst case scenario seems to be if I already have cancer cells I could be causing them to grow.

      Why don't you just stop for a bit and observe?

  I've watched a few videos on that channel and there something that's been bugging me in the look of Dr Stanfield. I can't describe exactly what though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
